Just had a Hermit Thrush at my window feeder. Hadn't had one in the yard all winter so it was nice to finally get one. Also, the resident female Copper's Hawk just attacked the flock of Mourning Doves (15+) that comes to my feeders. Once again it missed though did get some feathers. Got some nice close looks again as it sat in our hemlock tree at eye level. Those pale eyes are something.
